Syfte: Den textila klädmarknaden har under senare år expanderat ochidag har mode en helt annan betydelse än vad det tidigare haft.Trender kommer och går allt snabbare och det blir allt viktigareför konsumenten och därmed företagen att följa med i rådandetrender.

Uppsatsen bygger på etthermeneutiskt synsätt där vi valt att ta fram olika teorier somligger till grund för att svara på vår frågeställning. I vår studievalde vi att beröra ämnet från olika vinklar där både detpsykologiska och sociologiska fick spela en stor roll samt om detfinns ekonomiska drivkrafter bakom trenders uppkomst.Teori: Mode tillhandahåller extra adderat värde till kläder men vilketendast existerar i människans fantasi och freställning.Sociologer studerar mode ur en samhällssynvinkel, men medfokus på att mode påverkas av människor som agerar i grupper.3Psykologer däremot studerar mode utifrån enskilda individersinstinkter och behov. Om man använder det psykologiskaaspekterna som underlag till att studera mode kan man se modesom en del av personligheten inte som ett materiellt ting.

Bakgrund: En intrahospital transport (IHT) är en förlängning av patientens fortsatta vård och därför en naturlig del av intensivvårdssjuksköterskans uppgifter, en uppgift som är förknippad med höga risker för patienten. Syftet: Att belysa intensivvårdssjuksköterskans erfarenheter av oförutsedda händelser i samband med IHT samt deras reflektioner på patientsäkerheten vid IHT. Metod: En pilotstudie genomfördes med en fokusgruppintervju bestående av fem intensivvårdssjuksköterskor. Insamlad data analyserades med hjälp av kvalitativ innehållsanalys med induktiv ansats. Resultat: Fokusgruppen har erfarenheter av oförutsedda händelser som är av både system- och patientrelaterande art.

Although English is commonly used in Swedish advertising, little is known about its effects. The purpose of this paper was to investigate how a Swedish or English language choice in product advertisements affects the effectiveness of the ad. Further, a local/global dimension of the advertisement was created to investigate how the results differ for local and global brands. Subsequently, an experiment was conducted where the effect of language choice on several well-established measures of ad effectiveness such as awareness, comprehension of the ad message, credibility, attitude and buying intentions was analyzed. In line with previous research, English in product advertisements is not completely comprehended since English is not the local language in Sweden.

A computer model based on minimization of the free energy, capable to predict contact angles and spreading transitions between Wenzel and Cassie mode for drops placed on surfaces with different topography were implemented in matlab. Simulations were compared with experiments documented in the literature. These showed that reported transitions between Cassie and Wenzel mode can be explained by minimization of the free energy. In this report, a study on the possibility of constructing water repellent paper surfaces with a combination of treatment with octadecyltrichlorosilane and topography changes, is included..
